The Journey Continues...

Let´s see... So much to tell, but I only have about 4 more ounces until Cohen needs me! Today we went to the children´s home (Semillas de Amor) and toured the home. It was very nice and yet heart-breaking at the same time. Most of the children there have been matched with families, but are just waiting for their adoptions to be complete. You know I kept asking, "Does he have a family waiting?" They were all precious!!! We will definitely be going back. I think when Robby comes, he and Cohen can have some bonding time while I go hold some babies. Some were just a few days old and so tiny!!!

Cohen is doing new things every day. He can now roll over several times and thankfully we will be borrowing a crib on Friday -- thank you so much Holly! We will be meeting Myriam (very nice Guatemalan lady who is a friend of a friend)in the city on Friday to pick up the crib and exersaucer. Friday will be a busy day. Doctor´s visit for Cohen, pick Robby up at the airport, meet Myriam, back to Antigua. Because of traffic, our driver is picking us up at 6 in the morning.

OK, I´m sure you want to see more pictures. Cohen is loving playing in the grass. We have a tiny little courtyard area in the middle of our apartment, which is perfect for him to roll and practice sitting independently. Today he did a great job and did not even fall over! So proud!


Sweet little girl we met at the market. She loved Cohen! He played hard-to-get.





That last picture is our view as we step out of our apartment. That volcano is our compass -- as we wander and explore, we always find our way knowing that the volcano is south.

Hope you are all doing well at home. Thank you so much for your comments and email. It is so good to hear from home! As much as we love our time here, daily tasks are so much harder in a foreign country where we barely speak the language. So good hearing from you!
